Despite the backlash from fans decrying that Metal Gear Survive isn't a true Metal Gear game, what's available in this $40 package is a hundred-plus hours of one of the most polished survival games to ever make it onto consoles.
A competent and well thought out survival game, but we wish it had more imagination. [Apr 2018, p.60]

A decent survival game with a rewarding, if uninspired, grind to its resource collecting and base management.
Not your typical Metal Gear, but a bold move for the series. Great controls and visuals, bur the survival aspect is not unique and will not appeal to all fans.
It feels as though Konami channelled Franz Kafka to produce a retelling of the myth of Sisyphus. [May 2018, p.116]
Metal Gear Survive is a brave move for Konami and a decent survival game – it’s just not particularly fun. If you like the more abrasive side of the medium, give it a go. Everyone else should probably stay away.
Bland and mediocre gameplay. Ludicrous hunger and thirst meters which made this game practically unplayable, not to mention the “always online” feature, are what’s making this game a great candidate to avoid.
i like this game. i understand why many people hate it, with the boring start but the boredom is far away once you get forward in the game. i feel like the first couple of hours is a tutorial for whats coming up. the game really gets fun later and i think that all these reviewers that think its boring only played the first hours. i like that the game is trying something different.
i think it feels like they combined resident evil and snake eater. it might use the same engine as mgsVTPP but its more if they used the healing, hunting and eating from snake eater, used resident evil 4 or 5 combat and put it onto the fox engine because thats their latest engine. i agree that the thirst and hunger bar is kinda annoying but i let it pass because its survive and not solid. the combat is nice but sometimes feels BS because i poke em with the spear but i don't hit em and they hit me with their short arms and instantly hit me. i love the base builder and when i unlock something it feels like i actually earned it. i love how you have to think before taking action. like: am i gonna make this?, do i have the resources to do that? and is this the best way to do it? i remember that i used to run around swinging my shovel at the wanderers and hoping for the best. later i saw a big horde and decided to think before doing anything. i decided to try sneaking past and use bottles to distract them and it worked. this made me use my brain before doing anything. ask yourself these questions. not gonna lie but there are many bad things but they didn't hit me that hard. i hate the food and thirst and how fast it goes down but after getting the farms and hanging pot nothing was a big issue like at the beginning of the game. you start with nothing and have to drink dirty water and if u were lucky, find clean water. then gaining more and more til the point where food and water is not an issue anymore. the game is a zombie game where you start with nothing and grow stronger.
remember that this is no metal gear solid game, this is metal gear survive. its a reason they didn't have solid in the name because it has something new to offer. that is why metal gear rising revengeance doesn't have solid in the name. because it has the sword battle which makes it feel like a brand new series. adding solid to the name would make original fans think that this is like the other games. removing solid form the name make it shine as its own thing while the others can stand solid.
i think if you played the first hours and hated it then just play more and it will get fun. o think you should wait til the game goes on sale or just buy one cheap on the internet. i bought mine for 15$ and it came with dlc code and it was unopened. probably why i like it so much more because i got it cheap and it feels like i got what i paid for.

It's a fun take on the survival genre. The game is a little on the short side for me. I had a lot more fun with this than MGSV. It seems to me it's a cool spin-off however it doesn't add much to the saga. The store is an obvious cash grab as the game itself. Sadly Kojima fans will absolutely hate it.

I had read about this game and I was a bit sad about all the bad reviews. I started up the game with low expectations. I was really surprised when it turned out to be a really addicting game. It is great fun and I can't stop playing. It is like fallout, without the humour and good music. You need to find food and water to survive, you pick up stuff, you shoot with a bow or gun or whatever you find. You build your own base and build up a crew. How to do stuff, like change ammo or give medicine to your crew is not logic. It takes a while to understand it, but this game is SO fun!
I don't get the bad reviews. I haven't paid for anything in the game. No need.
Also the story is quite surprising!
So, if you like to survive, explore, gather and shoot (or fight) this is your game.

What a bummer. As a fan of both MGS and sandbox survival, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of this title. Just picked it up for $10, and it’s not even worth that much. The opener to the game is so brutally slow and nonsensical, it’s like they don’t even want you to play it. Then the robots who narrate everything speak at a snail’s pace, so I’m sure most of the game’s runtime is just listening to them talk. Once you can actually play, the game is interesting for 30 minutes but then reveals itself to be a totally uninspired, repetitive, boring experience. I wasn’t even motivated to get into the base building, and I love that stuff.
Also... for some reason the MGS world involves portals? And the enemies are a cross between zombies and unicorns that wind up being much more weird than scary? If they wanted to do MGS survival, the recipe seems pretty simple: make it like snake eater, a soldier lost in the forest surrounded by tribal enemies or even zombies. But a totally wacko sci-fi hell portal full of dust storms? I just don’t get any of it.

What is Konami doing? What is the point of this game? This game is a sad cash grab attempt at making a quick buck. Konami is already in hot water with the whole the Kojima incident and then they pull this? The whole point of making this game was, “we spent ‘x’ amount of money on the Fox Engine and we’re going to get our money’s worth.
The sad truth is, this is one of the worst games that I have ever played. Nothing about it is fun, it feels like it was intentionally designed to make you hate yourself. The games first hour is almost all cutscenes with a little bit of gameplay thrown in. The thing about it is, things are happening on the screen but not of its actually interesting. It felt like poorly written fan fiction that was trying so hard to link this game to previous Metal Gear games.
The gameplay itself is not much fun, I personally don’t really like survival games, to begin with, and this seems like a bad survival game as well. First off, I never want to play a game where I have to regularly be drinking and eating to stay alive. I don’t want that, that’s too tedious and it’s not fun. It’s also a loot based game where you run around and loot everything. I like that kind of mechanic as long its quick but in Survive it takes too long to loot. You walk up to the item, you hold down square (I was playing on my PlayStation 4) for 5 and a half seconds and then you have the item. If you kill 20 enemies in an area and want to loot all of them, it’s going to take 2-3 minutes to do that. It may not sound like that big of a deal until you do that over and over again. Oddly enough, that ended up being my breaking point for this game.
My simple suggestion is, stay away. I knew this game was getting poor reviews and it was not very popular and that made me curious. Now I know, it’s a bad game and this is one of the worst games I have played the last 3 years.
